I give up! I mean UNIX is UNIX, right? Seems not. I have a plain old Ethernet network comprising HP700's at HP-UX 9.05 Sun Sparc's at SunOS 4.1.3 and others at Solaris 2.3 (patched up to the eyeballs). The problem? There are printers connected to the Sparcs (one on 4.1.3 and one on 2.3) and I can't get the HP's to print to them. Please e-mail any helpful advice or pointers to FAQ's (apologies if this a FAQ) to steve_robson@redac.co.uk and thank you in advance, Regards, Steve
